This feat about getting locked on Google Accouints will cost google customers. Last week I wanted to try a Google Cloud API, but I stopped when I had to fill a form with more billing information . At that moment I though soemthing like "what if something weird happens with my test script and Google flags my account? " then I was thinking "maybe I make a new test account" but then next though "making a new account could also be a flag and could cost me my main account" so I just gave up.
- vizzah 6y agoYes, same story. However, making a new account must be the safest bet, one just need to read their T&Cs to see if having second account is allowed? I guess it is, since Google neatly offers to sign-in under different accounts when several people use it from one device or when you have a business e-mail hosted on G suite.
- simion314 6y agoYes, I already have 2 gmail accounts, one for personal stuff and my personal phone and one for work. The problem is if I make a 3rd account for testing APIs and this third account somehow gets flagged will it bring down all my other accounts? Sony also scares me sometimes, i get email that I broke their terms in some chat message in some game (my son uses my account) but no fucking detail on what exactly is the problem(I would not be surprised if they are so incompetent to get triggered by non english words , so children report each other to troll)
- swiley 6y agoI was already preparing to leave gmail but hadn't found the thing to really motivate it yet. The broken password reset heuristic motivated it. Or rather, it gave me no other choice at all.
